When will people learn that It isn't the governments job to control private industry?
Shit happens, Sometimes it is of no fault to any company or man/woman.
Old equipment that they can only service when the government says its okay?
Seems to me like the government is the one to blame because of all the regulations and ridiculous tariffs they shove up the industries ass whenever they go and send a crew down to work on oil caps and other equipment that keeps all of this from happening.
You want to stop oil spills in the ocean?
Let the drills tap more LANDMASS.
On water operations are twice as likely to have issues because of all the policies, regulations, and anti-industry/anti-corporation BS they have to deal with.
Yes its terrible when something like this happens, but if the industry is allowed to do what they need to do to service their equipment without a bunch of politicians getting involved then i think they would happen far less frequently.
